Information on calibration of newly purchased equipment and what it means to you.

Calibration and it's certification comes in varying forms on new equipment and in this section we will break it down into the three areas that we use to classify calibration state at the point of purchase.

Manufacturers Calibration Certificate

This is a calibration certificate offered by the manufacturer supplied with the tester. This is also known as a end of line certificate or manufacturer’s certificate. These certificates vary depending on the manufacturer and product. They will not have your companies name on and don’t always show proven test results.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

This instrument comes complete with the manufacturer's calibration certificate. Please be aware that these certificates are generic and may also be time-lapsed.If you would prefer a personalised full traceable calibration certificate applied to the equipment before dispatch, then please select this option from the drop-down menu above, an additional calibration charge will apply.

Manufacturers Certificate of Conformity

A manufacturer's certificate of conformity is not a calibration certificate. It is merely a statement that the equipment has been produced to operate within it's intended application, it has no traceable certificate or constitute any defined results for accuracy before leaving the manufacturing process.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.

FREE personalised traceable calibration certificate

This is a calibration certificate created by us at ISS. This certificate is fully traceable to national and international standards. The certificate will show your companies details, tester information, proven test results and the equipment used to carry out the test. Nearly 90% of all calibrations we do are done in-house in one of our many fully equipped laboratories. You can add this service to your order on the product page before you checkout.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

This instrument comes with a FREE personalised traceable calibration certificate. This equipment is supplied by the manufacturer with a basic statement of conformity. We have upgraded the equipment to include a full personalised traceable calibration certificate for you in our laboratory at our expense.You are advised to renew your calibration annually.

Chauvin Arnoux CA1875 Thermography Training Bench

For teaching students and apprentices the basics of practical thermography, the Chauvin Arnoux CA1875 Thermography Training Bench is an excellent tool. It can provide simple thermography training through the demonstration of thermographic exercises that show what happens in common construction situations. widths.

The bench can demonstrate how trouble spots can be located through thermography. For instances, issues with positioning, reflection and the emissivity of materials are covered. Problems with transmission can be effectively shown with use of the Plexiglas screen.

All materials used with the Chauvin Arnoux CA1875 Thermography Training Bench can be fitted compactly into position, and then the bench can be folded away for easy storage

The CA1875 Comes Supplied With:

CA1875 Training Bench

Carrying Bag

Experiment Guide

Test Screens

Power Supply Cable

This kit allows the following experiments to be carried out:

Problem of material emissivity

- A material's emissivity (ε) is a characteristic of the material and its surface state, representing a body's capacity to absorb and re-emit radiated energy.- Major measurement errors can occur if this parameter is incorrectly assessed. To remedy this, the camera must be adjusted correctly. - Using plates with different emissivity values, the purpose of the operation is to highlight the impact of emissivity on temperature measurement.

Positioning problems

For correct measurements, the camera must be positioned perpendicular to the target to be measured so that theemissivity value entered in the camera corresponds to reality. The purpose of the operation is to make this phenomenonclearly visible.

Problem of reflection and transmission

Real objects only absorb a fraction (α) of the incident radiation, while reflecting a part of it (ρ) and transmitting only a fraction (τ). Thus, when making a thermographic measurement, the reflected radiation and infrared radiation transmission problems must be taken into account.

Problem of spatial resolution

The purpose of this operation is to show what can and cannot be measured with an infrared camera. A target comprising several slots represents the various cable widths which may be encountered in an installation.

Orders requiring calibration

Whilst we take the greatest care to get all orders dispatched and delivered to you in the stated time frame, orders received PM and requiringcalibration may on occasion miss dispatch that day, according to the complexity of the calibration. Be assured they will ship on the next dispatchthis in most cases should not add more than 24 hours to your delivery.

Bank/Public Holidays

Predicted delivery times are based on regular trading days Monday to Friday. Public holidays, bank holidays and weekends are outside the usual scope of our dispatch and subject to activities/holidays of our carriers and therefore may incur additional days lead time to your order.
